               Comprehensive civil preparedness plans shall be adopted and maintained by resolution
               of the county board of commissioners. In the preparation of these plans as it pertains

               personnel of all existing departments and agencies shall be utilized to the fullest
               extent. When approved, it shall be the duty of all county and municipal departments
               and agencies to perform the functions assigned by these plans and to maintain their
               portions of the plans in a current state of readiness at all times. Emergency operations
               plans and regulations shall have the effect of law whenever a disaster has been proclaimed.

               The coordinator shall prescribe in the emergency plans those positions within the
               disaster organization, in addition to his own, for which lines of succession are necessary.

               When a required competency or skill for a disaster function is not available within
               the local government, the coordinator is authorized to seek assistance from persons
               outside of the government. The assignment of duties, when of a supervisory nature,
               shall also grant authority for the persons so assigned to carry out such duties prior
               to, during and after the occurrence of a disaster. Such services from persons outside
               of the government may be accepted by local government on a volunteer basis. Such citizens
               shall be enrolled as civil preparedness volunteers in cooperation with the heads of
               the local government departments affected.
